Japan - V.League V1 (Division 1, Women) 2022-2023

  • Same. Such a bummer. I just saw the result from NEC’s social media post :lol:

    I seem to recall something like this happened last year or the year before. It's like NHK allots two hours for the match and if it ain't over ... tough :lol:

  • It's already available in the videoflow archive

  • Just watched the ending. Toray was up 21–18 ...


    SWP with a kill block at 23–23 , and I think she'd be credited with the final kill


    Koga is surely going to be MVP

  • Odd the MVP is kept secret for a while, but Koga -- unofficially -- 27 points on 51% kill ratio is gonna get it. I call :teach:

  • SWP is the new Plak :super:


  • You see this all the time in Japan, and not just from Koga


    Hands and knees for the serve reception, notice where Tsukada is:



    Not an A Pass, maybe B+ at best, but if Tsukada didn't move, the ball might have landed on her. If she was a skilled setter she's got four options



    Probably easier for her to just go back to the corner, but Toray should know that



    Kill

  • Toray just can't seem to seal the deal and win the finals of Empress Cup. 2020, lost to JT. 2021, lost to Hisamitsu. This year, lost to NEC. They're consistent in getting to the end, but somehow didn't have enough to finish it off :gone:

  • The Uni Girls are Coming Part 3


    Denso's packin'


    Haruna Yamashita OH (Tokai) Great resume. Good, but Tokai to me

    Mana Yokoyama MB (NIFS) A Banger. The Wild Card. Like her a lot. She & Sae Nakajima won the All Uni Title

    Haruna Kawabata Libero (Tokai) Another great resume because she played for Tokai

    Miko Isogai OH (Tsukuba) Most unremarkable of Tsukuba Starters


    Yuki Noda MB (Hachio Jissen HS) She wore a green uniform for three years so I don't really know her

  • My mind automatically read that as MILFS:aww: What is NIFS
